Serbian Trade and Telecommunication Minister, Rasim Ljajic told Prva TV he does not expect Pristina-Belgrade agreement to be reached in the forthcoming months.

Commenting on media reports that USA President Trump praised Serbia and USA under his administration changed the attitude toward Serbia, Ljajic noted that change is evident.

“(…) That stance is reflected in one sentence, try to make an agreement, we have nothing against it, and the final assessment we will give once the agreement is reached,” Ljajic added.

"Change of borders" in Kosovo "cannot be free of violence," states a confidential report prepared by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).

Pristina-based Koha Ditore is reporting this, noting that it had seen the three-page report authored by Chairman of Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee Norbert Roettegen, and Robert Cooper, former supervisor in the technical level dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.

According to this, the document was prepared based on "discussions with several European ambassadors in Pristina."

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said he is interested the most to talk with the countries that have recognized unilaterally declared Kosovo independence and to re-examine their decisions, RTS reports today.

“I am very pleased with how these talks are unfolding,” Dacic noted, adding he has said to the representatives of certain countries, having this in mind, soon Pristina and Tirana would be the only ones that recognize Kosovo.

According to the Belgrade press, in a brief conversation with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, US President Donald Trump has referred to the Serbs as "good people."

Namely, Brnabic thanked the US president for the changing of the stance of the current administration in Washington toward Serbia, and for understanding the position of our country on the issue of Kosovo, and, according to media reports, he replied by saying that "Serbs are good people."

Russia’s Ambassador to Serbia Alexandar Chepurin said on Tuesday that no one can force Serbia to recognize Kosovo.

Speaking at the inauguration of the newly-named village of Putinovo outside the southern Serbian town of Medvedja, Chepurin said that Serbia has a strong international position.

There will not be border corrections or the territory swap between Kosovo and Serbia because that would leave the unforeseen consequences, Bodo Weber, a German analyst, has said, the KoSSev website reported.

Weber, an expert on the Balkans – European Union relations, also said late on Monday that both Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic and his Kosovo’s counterpart Hashim Thaci realised that there was a significant resistance within the EU, especially from Germany, to any border changes.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic stated in New York that reaching a political solution to the Kosovo and Metohija issue is Serbian national priority, RTS reports today.

“By defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Serbia defends the international law, UN Charter, preservation of international peace and security, but also its national and historic identity, Dacic said in a Peace Summit, organized in honour of the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela, prior to the 73 session of the United Nations General Assembly.

It seems that a solution to the Kosovo issue will not be found either in 2018 or in early 2019, "despite the wishes of the international community." Belgrade-based press is saying this in articles published on Tuesday.

Daily Blic said it learned from diplomatic sources that "pressure from western countries to solve the open issue between Serbia and Kosovo is slowly waning."

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic began on Monday her visit to New York, where she will attend the UN General Assembly, by meeting with US Senator Ron Johnson, B92 reports. Johnson is chair of the US Senate Homeland Security Committee and of the Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation.

During the talks, PM Brnabic said she would use her visit to the United States and participation in the general debate at the UN General Assembly to discuss with world leaders Serbia's achievements in political and economic reforms, the Serbian Government announced.
